Connecting the Durawand Recharger / Downloader Station to your
computer
It is recommended that you turn the computer off during the following steps which describe how
to connect your Recharger / Downloader Station to the computer for communication between the
DuraWand and a Macintosh computer.
Connect the power supply into the power connection on the back of the Recharger / Downloader
Station; plug the power supply into an electric outlet. The “Power” light on the Recharger / Downloader
Station should be lit.
Connection the RJ-11 plug of the serial cable to the “Computer” port of the Recharger / Downloader
Station, and connect the other end of the cable to the modem or printer serial port of your computer.
Recharging the Durawand
DO NOT place a DuraWand without batteries into the Recharger / Downloader Station
DO NOT leave a DuraWand with alkaline batteries in the Recharger / Downloader Station for
any longer than thirty minutes or you will cause damage to the DuraWand. Remove a DuraWand
with alkaline batteries from the Recharger / Downloader Station immediately after programming and
data transfer.
Your DuraWand comes equipped with rechargeable AAA nickel-cadmium batteries. Press the scan
button on the DuraWand after you replace it into the Recharger / Downloader Station and after you
remove it from the Recharger / Downloader Station. This ensures that the DuraWand will be in a
low power consumption state, enabling it to take a charge while it is in the recharger/ downloader and
to conserve the battery charge while it is out of the recharger/ downloader. If your DuraWand is in
the recharger / downloader when you shut down your computer, wait a few seconds, then press the
DuraWand scan button. If you hear an upscale beep after pressing the scan button, the wand was in a
high power consumption state that could have affected the battery life.
